Believe and See:

Don't cheat on me. I am a jealous man. Those words, I heard. Did not understand. Scared and confused. In fear, I ran. 'Woman, why do you flee?', he asked softly. This voice that spoke, it frightened me. Was I crazy? Who knows? My eyes were blind. I could not see. 'Go away from me!', was all I screamed. Hurt and afraid. From him, I strayed. Who was this man? What did he want? 'Woman, open your eyes', he called to me. 'No!', I refused. I do not know of what I'll see. My children, I protect. No harm will come. Unsure what to say. I turned him away. Not far from my side. He always would stay. Tired and weak. His voice, I now seek. ' I am still here', of this he assured. Open your eyes and see. A child of mine. Thats what you all are. It is I, you have heard. Go forth. Spread the word! Happy and joyful. His grace, I now see. Loudly I proclaim,'it is he! It is he!' Search for yourself. Give it time, you shall see. All that he wants, is for us to believe. Theresa Lynn (Foley) 11-19-2009
